Hi! My name is Lesy and I’m a 23 year old aspiring Elementary School teacher or Nanny with seven years of childcare experience. Red Cross trained in Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED. I’m dependable and naturally organized. One of my greatest strengths is that I don’t become easily overwhelmed. A messy kitchen, change of plans, or a little chaos is something very manageable for me! I love finding thoughtful ways to keep children engaged and curious. In my free time I sell baked goods, craft, and sew, and I love incorporating those interests into creative activities. I love cooking and preparing food from scratch and I’d be happy to help out with meals, snacks, homework, and light household work. Because I have a shellfish allergy myself, I take dietary restrictions seriously! I make sure to read labels carefully, and prevent cross contamination at all times. I have completed an early childhood development course, bilingual in English and Spanish, currently learning sign language, and have a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation. My goal is to be someone parents can genuinely depend on and feel confident that their child is in responsible hands. I’m comfortable working in homes with dogs. I do have a cat allergy. One cat is generally manageable for me, but I’m unable to work in homes with multiple cats.
I am an Autism Author and one of the Thinking Moms. I am also an Uber/Lyft Driver, private Chauffeur, varsity tutor, and a Certified Brain Trainer with Life Kinetik. I am also a former Substitute Teacher of 10 years. I Love children and am a Mother of 3 girls now in their 20's. I believe behavior is how a child sees, how a child hears, and how a child feels. I have a social Work degree and I have also done studies in Medical Assisting.
“There is something awesome about Mary! She was punctual, fun, kind, and my son and his best friend loves her! ”
I am a provider with experience in babies, toddlers and older kids. I have good references from the families I've work with in the past and certifications as CPR/First aid and preschool teacher assistant. I'm responsable, energetic, organized and I have skills such as multitasking, driving, patience and a passion for work with kids. My schedule is flexible and I'm available to start any time, don't hesitate to contact me!
“My kids loved hanging out with Melanie.”
Hi! My name is Mikayla, and I'm 21 years old with a strong love for working with kids. I’ve been volunteering with children at my church for nearly 10 years, and I also have professional experience through paid positions in childcare. I worked for the Safe-Key program and in summer camps at an elementary/middle school, where I cared for and supervised children in a structured setting. I'm comfortable with kids of all ages (as long as they’re out of diapers!) and am very flexible, reliable, and easy to adapt to each child’s personality. I’m also great at setting respectful boundaries with children—firm when needed, but always kind and understanding. A few fun facts about me: I love doing theatre and singing, I love all things Disney, and I'm a huge Spider-Man fan! I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!
Hello My Name is Alexis, at a very young age I wanted to be a teacher. I got my CDA *Child Development Associate* in High School and ever since then I continued in Early Childhood Education and got my degree in it. I've worked in different schools and with my experience I've worked with all age groups. My specialty is in infants, toddlers, preschool. Just renewed my First Aid & CPR. I look forward to hearing about your family and how I can provide my experience!

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
